Nanming: I can build wonders

Chapter 199 The Princess Who Was Delivered to Recruits for Training
The piercing whistle sounded suddenly in the dark night.

This is the guard camp of Chengtian Mansion.

Immediately, Liu Lai, the dean of the military academy who had been prepared for a long time, waited quietly in the school grounds.

And the wolf-like cadets of the military academy have already rushed into the dormitory of the recruits, shouting loudly: "Get up, I, the enemy is attacking! The enemy is attacking!"

The training of the new guards in these two towns was entirely in the charge of the Daming Imperial Military Academy. Due to the large number of recruits, Liu Lai and Chen Wei, the oldest members of the military academy, had to go into battle in person.

Tonight, Liu Lai had a whim and couldn't sleep, so he arranged for everyone to hold an emergency gathering at night!
The recruits of the [-]rd Battalion of the [-]th Guards Town were unfortunately selected.

Because the training during the day was too hard, the recruits fell asleep as dead pigs as soon as they went to bed, and did not hear the whistle for emergency assembly at all.

There was no other way, the cadets in charge of training the recruits could only beat and kick, abruptly dragged a group of recruits out of their dreams, and dragged them to the school field.

"Keep them awake!"

Liu Lai in military uniform said to the students beside him.

The trainees immediately poured basins of water into the crooked crowd. The half-awake recruits were poured with cold water, and immediately became chaotic. Of course, they also woke up.

"Regroup!" Liu Lai roared.

"The cold water in the area is just a mess. If I change the firecrackers, wouldn't it be trampled by others, and I will arrange everything neatly!"

After dozens of breaths of chaos, the recruits barely lined up neatly in the school field surrounded by torches.

At this time, I heard Yan Dehuan shout: "From the alarm to the completion of the whole team, it took 220 breaths. If you are attacked at night on the battlefield, you will be slaughtered early in the morning. If you really want to take you to the battlefield, I will die!" I don't even know how I died!"

"So, in order not to embarrass Daming, I decided to punish you to run laps now. However, it's late at night and you are tired, so let's run less and run around the school field twenty laps."

As soon as this remark came out, the recruits who had already awakened were a little uneasy.

The Guards Barracks is a standard 400-meter runway, and [-] laps are equal to eight kilometers (Zhu Kezang has already unified the weights and measures with vernier calipers and other tools).

Running eight kilometers in the middle of the night, who can stand it!

They couldn't sleep after the run, and the recruits were secretly cursing Liu Lai, that old bastard.

But before the recruits could respond, the cadet squad leaders of the third battalion had already shouted the slogan to stand at attention, take a break, and turn right.

As a last resort, under the discipline of absolutely obeying orders, the recruits followed their officers and started running circles in a daze.

Fortunately, Liu Lai didn't know if he was sleepy or tired, so he showed great kindness and called to stop after five laps, which allowed the recruits to drag their tired bodies back to the dormitory and continue to sleep.

However, it seemed that he hadn't slept for long, and the wake-up call rang again.

As usual, under the "reminder" and dragging by the squad leaders, those recruits who didn't even take off their clothes finally lined up before morning exercises.

Morning exercises are nothing more than physical training, running and push-ups take turns.

After the morning exercises, the recruits lined up to wash up. At this time, the recruits from the third battalion of the fifth town began to complain: "Who can stand this? Look at my dark circles. I didn't fall asleep last night!"

Hearing the cries of the recruits, the squad leaders who were also washing up laughed and cursed: "If you can't stand it, then you can go back to farm or work in the factory. Believe it or not, there are countless people who are willing to receive this military salary for you!"

The recruits immediately fell silent. Yes, the training of the guards is a little bit more tiring, but they can actually get two taels of silver every month, that is, two ten-yuan dragon coins.

After three months of training, and being officially hired by the Guards, they can get six taels of silver a month and take off directly.

Moreover, with three meals a day, not only can you be full, but you can also have meat, such as lard bibimbap, braised pork, fish soup, and so on.

Therefore, the recruits also complained, and if they were really asked to get out of the barracks, they would not leave without being beaten to death.

They just want to get through these three months as soon as possible, so that they will be prosperous and have a lot of benefits in the future.

It is said that when they become full-timers, there will be a military store in the Guards camp, where popular items such as Tibetan fairy wine, sugar, silk, cotton cloth, mirrors, and soap can be bought, and there is still a [-]% discount!
Of course, it is impossible to expect to buy goods in the military store and then resell them outside to make a fortune!
Because each person has a limited amount of goods per month, for example, you can only buy one bottle of Tibetan fairy wine a month, and you can only buy ten catties of white sugar a month.

Some soldiers have no desires, do not want to spend money, and feel that banknotes are easy to lose and unsafe, what should I do?
In order to solve this problem, after the recruits become regulars, the Daming Royal Bank will send special staff to open passbooks for each soldier of the Guards Army. There is enough amount in the passbook, you can take as much as you want, and you can deposit it back if you don’t use it up, which is also convenient.

Who wants to quit the guards who are treated so well!

Serving as a soldier under the Emperor Shenwu of the Ming Dynasty is a real soldier, and it is not easy to die in battle. With the cannon fodder of the vassal states to block the gun, it is much more comfortable than being a consumable in the Qing Dynasty.

Therefore, the recruit who was complaining just now responded shyly to the squad leader's scolding: "Squad leader, we are just joking, we want to serve the emperor wholeheartedly!"

The squad leaders of the cadets in the military academy were too lazy to delve into the temporary complaints of the recruits, so they changed the subject: "Wash yourselves clean, don't be like an old cat licking your face, the superiors sent you face towels and toothbrush sets, not for you ······"

In the hustle and bustle, each department finished washing one after another, and went back to the dormitory to put away their toiletries. At this time, it was time for breakfast, and each shed lined up, took their own bowls and chopsticks, and entered the dining room one by one to sit down.

When they were seated, Yuan, the logistics person in charge of meals, brought meals to everyone.

The staple food is sweet potato flour and cornmeal. Due to the large output of sweet potato and corn, in order to prevent the grain from getting moldy, Zhu Kezang opened several grain processing factories to process a large number of high-yielding crops into flour and noodles.

Not to mention, after processing, common people like it even more!
These recruits ate very happily. They chose noodles or noodles according to their own preferences, and went to line up to pour the pork offal soup, and a bowl of pork offal noodles came out!
Today, the pork production in Chengtianfu is getting higher and higher, and pork is no longer an unattainable meat for ordinary people!

The people of Chengtian Mansion don't talk about the realization of pork freedom, at least they can go to the market to buy some pork every now and then, and they don't feel bad.

"It's really fragrant, it's comfortable to be a soldier for the emperor!"

The recruits are undergoing brutal training in Chengtian Mansion, while the Son of Heaven whom they have been thinking of, lives a happy life in Mancijia City.

"Your Majesty, the princess of the Kingdom of Aceh has arrived in Manchuria and is waiting for you!"
